— Daniel Handler"This story is about the Baudelaires. And they are the sort of people who know that there’s always something.

And for this reason, I am happy to say, the Baudelaires were very fortunate indeed."

Next Quote
Baudelaire writes: In certain almost supernatural inner states, the depth of life is entirely revealed in the spectacle, however ordinary, that we have before our eyes, and which becomes the symbol of it."
